At a recent talk at the University of New Hampshire, I offered thoughts on the scale of nuclear energy growth needed, the obstacles to such growth, and how policy and technology might address them.

We need negotiations leading to full IAEA inspections and some form of agreed caps on Iran's capability -- but there's little reason to be optimistic about that right now.

There's no doubt that the strikes dramatically reduced Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities. But they also have substantially increased Iran's motivation to move toward nuclear weapons. My guess is that the change of an Iranian bomb in 10 years increased, rather than decreased.

A few years ago, I wrote a book chapter assessing the key obstacles to nuclear growth in China on a scale large enough to play a major part in decarbonizing their energy system and how technology and policy might address them.
